R" Berland admitted Sex Offender Offers Chareidi Parties His Support in Exchange for Photo-Op
Rabbi Berland convicted of sexual offenses has been negotiating his public rehabilitation with Chareidie politicians in exchange for his followers’ political support, according to a television report on Tuesday.
After evading arrest for three years, Eliezer Berland, 80, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in November 2016 on two counts of indecent acts and one case of assault, as part of a plea deal. He was freed after five months, in part due to ill health.
Now, his associates are working to bring him back into the fold, according to a recording obtained by Hadashot.
In the recording, captured before the October municipal elections in Jerusalem, an aide to Berland, Natan Bezenson, is heard speaking with United Torah Judaism’s MK Meir Porush.
Chareidie Parties in Israel Split Up .... "Achdus" is for the "average Shzlub" Not for the "Manhigim"
This "achdus" talk is exactly that ..."talk" ...
Practicing "achdus" preached by all "gedoilim" is only for the poor "Zhlub, who works all day, comes home for a quick bite and runs off to a Daf Yoimie shiur ..the guy who doesn't even have time to fight, who is struggling to pay his "arnonah;" trying his utmost to keep his children from noticing that the "gedoilim" are always fighting between each other and causing them to take a second look at their heritage and to leave all "this" behind because of all the hypocrisy.Instead of getting together and working out a deal to keep their "learners" out of the army, they will now lose any momentum they had, the IDF will gain more soldiers, and the "gedoilim" will call for protests .... for that there is "achdus"
The United Torah Judaism party has filed a request with Knesset officials to approve its split into its two constituent factions Wednesday.
New "Chassidis" Refuse to wear Shtreimlich or Borcelino Hats!!
Question: Is this "muktzeh" on Shabbos?
Samual Isaac Farkas Killed falling off a 9th floor balcony on Collins Ave Miami Beach
The Miami Beach Jewish community was shocked to hear of a horrific tragedy which occurred on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning, when a teenage boy was tragically killed.
Miami Beach Police Department responded to the La Costa condominium complex at 5333 Collins Ave just before 8:00PM, after receiving reports of a person falling off a balcony at that location.
Miami Beach Police and Fire Rescue units arrived at the scene and found a person laying on the floor in traumatic arrest. He expired at the scene.
Yitzchak had arrived home and found his 9th floor apartment door locked with no one home. He proceeded upstairs to the 10th floor neighbor, and asked to come inside. He explained what had happened and went to the balcony to attempt to lower himself down to his balcony below – knowing that he would be able to get into his apartment. Tragically, he fell while trying to lower himself down, and plunged to his death.
Sadly, Yitzchak celebrated his birthday the day of the tragedy.
Police Chaplain Rabbi Mark Rosenberg and Chesed Shel Emes worked for many hours with police and the medical examiner to ensure proper Kavod Hames.

The Reform Movement has turned most Galut Jews into ethical monotheists - that is, Bnei Noachs
The Reform Movement takes pride in interpreting the Torah in what it considers a more tolerant and open-minded way. Since the mid-19th century this has meant stripping Judaism and Jewish life of ritual commandments.
The end result has been to effectively turn most Diaspora Jews into Noahides. That is, into ethical monotheists.
This appears to be harmless until we remember that according to Judaism, Noahides are supposed to be Gentiles - not Jews!
Jews are meant to be a priestly nation and to take over a more challenging – and rewarding – relationship with God. This allows Jews to serve as a light unto the nations and gradually draw all of humanity towards Biblical morality and the worship of one God.

| Maalei Adumim |
The number of Israelis living in Judea and Samaria rose to nearly 450,000 during 2018 settler leaders reported Tuesday morning.
According to a report released by the Yesha Council – the umbrella group representing Israeli municipalities across Judea and Samaria – the Israeli population in the area reached 448,672 in 2018.
That marks a significant decline in the annual growth rate of the total settlement population, which grew by just 12,964 people in 2018, equaling 3.0% annual growth, compared to 14,299 in 2017 (3.4%), 15,765 in 2016 (3.9%), 15,617 in 2015 (4.0%), and 15,558 in 2014 (4.2%).
Chuck Schumer Will Block Pro-Israel Bill
Efforts are underway in the US Senate to block a pro-Israel bill in response to the ongoing government shutdown.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and other Senate Democratic leaders are behind the effort, according to a report by the Washington Examiner on Monday.
The bill is aimed at “allowing state and local governments to divest from entities that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel because of its occupation of the West Bank.”
